Ready for meditation Monday the home practice? Here is something to share with your kiddos from the Chopra Center in preparation for the kids and teens summer series we are hosting:

Thinking about joining us for Meditation Monday? Not sure if you can here is a very simple test run from The Chopra Center not only for you but for the kids in your life.

This meditation works best for kids who are at least 5 years old. Ask your child to picture their best friend or a sibling—someone they do everything with or someone they look up to. Then ask them which one (your child or their best friend) usually leads. Usually, one friend is the one who decides things—the one who is more of the leader; the other one is the friend who usually follows the leader. Ask them which they are.

Whether you’ve been active for a few weeks or many years, finding the perfect space to perform your favorite exercises can feel stressful. Perhaps you aren’t a gym fan and want to work out at home. However, your home can hinder your routine; your pets walk all over the place, the children want to play with you while you perform your squats, or you have little space in your home.

Having stomach pain is never a fun experience. It can hinder your mood and prevent you from being productive. It’s especially heartbreaking when you have to cancel plans you were looking forward to due to your discomfort.

Fiber is a nutrient that plays a significant role in our gut health and ensures smooth bowel movement. Fiber helps break down bacteria and provides energy to our bodies.

Back injuries and pain are among the most persistent and common chronic disabilities that Americans face today. The truth is, our spines were never really meant to support bipedal walking, and as a result, eight percent of adults within the country suffer from back pain, resulting in the sixth most costly condition in the US.

Major life changes can wreak havoc on your daily routines. You might feel “off” due to extra stress or even a forced change to your schedule. Whether it’s a move, a career change, or even a relationship change, maintaining routines can help you deal with that stress and maintain a sense of normalcy.

Poor ventilation can lead to health problems that can be especially cumbersome when you’re working out. When we were exercise, we pull air deeper into our lungs, pushing pollutants and allergens deeper into our lungs.
